Ah...I saw that ad.

My first thought was "What a strange place for a drum photo shoot."

I do love that kit though...an almost entertained the idea of calling on it.

Did you buy them?

I play a pre-serial Hollywood kit (2 - 12" rack toms,) as a four piece and I can vouch for the quality and great sound of these drums. The 3-ply maple shells they used on these kits are among the best sounding shells Ludwig ever manufactured. I can see the $3G sticker price. I play mine every day. Of course you have to love it to begin with, but these drums produce the Classic 'Ludwig sound'.

Too many great drums to list here!

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

I did not buy them but have been drooling over them-I know the sound as my 67 Ludwig Psychedelic Red kit has the maple shells-the issue is do I need a fifth drum set and another one from that era......
